Help with my Light Flicker Script...
This is my light flicker script. How can i modify this so light pulsates rather than flickers, sort of like glowing effect. This is simple on off, rather i need it to dim down then back up...
function Update ()
{
if ( Random.value > 0.9 ) //a random chance
{
if ( light.enabled == true ) //if the light is on...
{
light.enabled = false; //turn it off
}
else
{
light.enabled = true; //turn it on
}
}
}

I'm assuming that light is a reference to a Light component. Instead of just activating/deactivating the component, you can adjust the 'intensity' property to fade in and out.
It might be most natural to do this with a coroutine; something like this:
function Update() {
if (Random.value > 0.9 && light.intensity == 1.0) {
StartCoroutine("FlickerLight");
}
}
function FlickerLight() {
while(light.intensity > 0.0) {
light.intensity -= Time.deltaTime;
yield;
}
while(light.intensity < 1.0) {
light.intensity += Time.deltaTime;
yield;
}
light.intensity = 1.0;
}
The light.intensity = 1.0 line at the end of the FlickerLight method is just to ensure the value ends up at 1.0 instead of going over. You can adjust the speed by multiplying Time.deltaTime by some value.
